Free travel

For your convenience, Adelaide Metro provides several free public transport options servicing the city and North Adelaide.

City Connector bus

A joint initiative of The City of Adelaide and Adelaide Metro, the free City Connector bus serves the city and North Adelaide, and links major tourist attractions, key destinations and facilities. The buses are wheelchair and pram accessible.

Bus routes 98A and 98C connect North Adelaide with the city, while routes 99A and 99C connect the inner-city areas.

Please Note: Due to COVID-19, the free City Connector Bus services have been suspended until further notice. For alternate bus routes please visit Adelaide Metro or call the Adelaide Metro InfoLine on 1300 311 108 (lines open 7 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week)

Free city tram

You can travel on the tram in the city centre free of charge from the South Terrace stop, to, and along North Terrace. The free zone continues out to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre where a Park n Ride service is available.

This makes the service a great option for visiting the Adelaide Central Markets (alight at Victoria Square), Adelaide Railway Station/Adelaide Casino (alight at Adelaide Railway Station), the Royal Adelaide Hospital (alight at West Terrace) and the Botanic Gardens or Adelaide Zoo (alight at Botanic Gardens).
